Yea, it's kinda weird that he isn't being given a breather to consolidate his position and make his own plans. We're not at the final confrontation with him. This is just the moment where our apocalypse dragon is established as a true challenge and threat to the New World led by New Gods; an old foe who has resurfaced from the era of the Old Gods.

While it should probably be shown that he's weak(from sleeping so long and is thus vulnerable), this should've also established him as an extremely powerful being not to be pushed, especially by such a new and shaky alliance of Gods.

This entire scenario is less about the apocalyptic dragon god at the moment and more about how we react to him, and how his very existence changes the game and adds urgency to the Merged fractured and weak pantheon, and how they will have to plan and try(emphasis on try) to work together to face this old enemy. So far, the Merged have failed at that. Though the apocalypse dragon is currently being pushed back, it doesn't mean a thing. It's just wasted energy to chase him; he will slip away somewhere, and chasing him constantly for that inevitable result is just gunna result in us fracturing and losing more time. In that sense, apocalypse Dragon has already decisively defeated the Merged in the opening move of this grand chess game between his alliance of antagonists and the New Pantheon.

If we can't even coherently react to his emergence as a unified front, how the hell will we face him in an upfront, genuine, pound per pound battle? We'd be crushed, especially as he gathers allies who will likely work together more cohesively.

We've already lost the first battle against him. Lets try to change our thinking so we don't lose the war.

That's the point about what makes the Apocalypse Dragon so powerful then. Hindu Pantheon is too big to cooperate, and our New Gods are too few. . . You have my permission to defeat, but not kill all three of my New Gods there for now. . . I can gather one more of my characters for that situation. Also, as for as Suriel is concerned, if he has Father God's sphere of power, even if he's extremely weak compared to what he should be, he should be an equal. Is this character, Suriel, also made by you, Bburke, or Punished Homura?

They're made by me, but not going to lie, they're probably just going to sit there the majority of the RP. They have little stake in what pagan gods do or want. At least Odin is pro active.

Sorry Sonata. . . I mean no disrespect. It's just that I don't know if the Hindu Pantheon, with it's allegedly enormous number of deities, can cooperate with each other. . . If the Dragon can take any single Pantheon, including the Hindu Pantheon down in combat, then I foresee people in every Pantheon just putting together their most powerful deities to fight it.

@ActRaiserTheReturned

I only have Sithilerine and Masrith as characters.

Oh okay. . . Keep in mind though, you have my permission to temporarily take out my characters.

I think the big problem with the Merged is the fact they have yet to have their roles relative to others defined yet. There's also the issue that Apocalypse Dragon has allies, so any upfront battle of pure force may lead to a Ragnarok scenario where everything blows up and the world ends due to the fighting.

This, of course, means he wins by default even if he's killed. We have to be more clever than starting a new titanic war immediately after the last one. The best route to do that is to hold a Council of the Gods to figure out what to do and how to do it.

I feel like we need a deu ex machina here or something to just give us all a breather, maybe time stops or something, I dunno...

Here is what I will do. Given that Sithilerine is at his full size. He technically has the max power he can have at the moment without his soul merging with his physical form. So I will have him cover Lea and Zeltrax and then do his most powerful soul roar to balst everyone back and escape.

Where is everyone?

@Cuccoruler With your character.

@ActRaiserTheReturned@Cuccoruler@Eviledd1984@BKburke@AcerRo@Minimum@Player 2

If this has really stopped due to inactivity or other reasons I may be able to make a reboot if that's alright with everyone.

Go ahead.

@Punished Homura Well im waiting for the RP to go on so i can post as Lea.

I like the way it's going honestly but the main people have left so yeah I guess rebooting wouldn't be a bad idea, if you need a co-gm let me know and I'll help

I have been waiting for something to happen...

I'm gonna reboot this rp
